The Courier Press of Prairie du Chien, WI, recently advised that an eight-foot painting of the Anunciation, referred to in another post on this page, once again hangs above the altar of the church. The painting was taken down decades ago and sold at an auction held by St. Gabriel's. Here's the article about the event by Don Eastman. Unfortunately it bears no date:

The Anunciation was purchased by Mary Barrette, a descendant of one of the oldest families of the town. Not long ago the painting was returned to St. Gabriel's and then underwent restoration.
